When my Kobo could not connect to Calibre V4.23, I belatedly upgraded within the last week to Calibre V5.5 (and then 5.6) and the most recent plug-ins.

HOWEVER, I am finding that the "download metadata" feature (available when right-click on multiple ePubs that are missing metadata) does not seem to work under V5.x. I can see the metadata when looking at "view log" but when I look at "review downloaded metadata" none of the information is shown and no update is made to the displayed metadata (i.e. comments, ratings, tags, published date, etc).

A temporary ad hoc solution that works is simply uninstalling Calibre V5.6, reinstalling Calibre V4.23, downloading/updating the metadata (the metadata is then viewable when click on "review downloaded metadata" and the database updates okay). I can then reinstall Calibre V5.6

But Calibre V5.x seems to require a fix for this feature, or is there some way in which I have to change the configuration I have under Calibre V5.x?

As noted, I have updated all the plugins that I use, but the "download metadata" feature that appears when right-click on ePubs seems to be an integral feature of Calibre and not a second-party plug-in.

I'm surprised others don't seem to have this systemic problem, although I noted there are some people who seem to have what they perceive as one-off problems with specific books??

Thanks,
Rob
